Well, it's been two days since I really, truly made my mind up to do this once and for all.. So far, so good.

I spent the afternoon/evening yesterday playing with this new PlayStation Eye Toy game that is like a work out video where you have to jump and hit things on the screen and play weird games. It has a 'personal trainer' option so I entered all my details into it and it gave me a set exercise program I have to do three times a week for the first couple of weeks. It slowly increases the frequency/activity level for 12 weeks. My goodness am I paying for it now! My muscles all ache, especially in my thighs and shoulders.

I also attempted yesterday to ride the bike I got for Xmas (I can't ride a bike yet). I haven't been able to get my balance so my husband is going to modify some training wheels for me! I don't care if I look stupid - at least I'm trying!

My husband and I live with his mum and sister while we are saving money for our own house, so there are four humans and three dogs who all need exercise. This morning we got up and took the dogs to a dog-friendly beach and walked around for a while before it started raining.

We stopped at some shops for lunch on the way home and I really wanted a pie, but we bought some bread, cold meat and salad for lunch instead...

And tomorrow my husband and I go back to Weight Watchers. We were going a year ago but stopped after he had an accident at work, but now we have made up our minds to go back and really get stuck into it. Wish me luck!

Wow, you're doing so well!! Those Eye Toy things are absolutely fantastic!! You wouldn't think that a Playstation game would be so good for you and make you work so hard, but I did one of the boxing programmes ages ago and far out, it made me huff and puff like nothing else!!

Sounds like you have plenty of excuses for exercise around you with all those dogs!! Great company for the walks too

Good luck and well done on your first couple of days!! Keep it going Emma
